The Dodgers face Chan Ho Park today.
That's good.
But they have to face the rest of the Phillies as well.
That's bad.
Russell Martin is heating up.
That's good.
But Rafael Furcal is still slumping.
That's bad.
Although not as much as Jimmy Rollins.
That's good.
The Dodgers are 1-3 since Manny got suspended.
That's bad.
But the Phillies are barely over .500 at 15-14.
That's good.
The Giants are only four games behind the Dodgers.
That's bad.
But the other NL West teams are at least 8.5 games back.
That's good.
I don't know how to end this.
That's bad.

I *think* I may be going to the Thursday game. The Missus asked me to take that day off and wont tell me what we are doing. I hope it's that and not a trip to Ikea! I also hope we are going for the series win or perhaps the sweep. Bills will be looking for redemption!My missus - that's good.

How's the weather out there? Spending any time at the San Juan Casino? The one thing I remember about that place was that my clothes never dried out when hung from my balcony window. Oh yeah, and I took my per diem and quadrupled it at the roulette wheel, and then kept the profits.

I mean, I understand that anti-smoking commercial decrying the free tobacco samples given away at sporting events. But I've been to sporting events all over the country, and I have NEVER seen any free tobacco samples being distributed. Am I just hanging out with the honor roll students?

I've been to the casino at the El San Juan hotel three or four times. We have pretty much doubled our money every time, on roulette and craps. Not big spenders, though, so it's normally going in with $50 or $100 and coming out with $100 or $200. But it's fun (gambling is one of my favorite things in the world). I love per diem.

Clothes take a little bit to dry, especially now that I'm right on the water at the hotel. This is why I'm glad Christine is in the wardrobe department, so we have access to a washer and dryer.

That could have been what Raffy was reacting to, the fact that he started charging the ball but then opted to back up and take it. Runner on third left on contact, so there was no chance. Raffy almost missed getting Victorino out as it was.

Much use of the overhead blimp shots tonight. Lyons brings up how fantastic it is to have all the stadiums in one area. It does look cool, I'm sure it's convenient...but on days where games overlap, isn't it a madhouse for parking?

Enough blather. Hudson singles to right, and this time stays at first. Leadoff single for the Dodgers.
